Michael Nakhla
Psychiatrist, MD
I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and psychotherapist. I serve in leadership and teaching roles at NYU, where I teach the next generation of psychiatrists and work at the intersection of college mental health and academic medicine. My practice focuses on high-achieving professionals and students navigating mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, perfectionism, and identity development. I created my private practice space, The Light Room, to be decidedly different from traditional psychiatric practices — care that's evidence-based yet deeply human, personalized, accessible, and responsive.
I specialize in integrating psychotherapy with medication management to offer a truly comprehensive treatment approach.

Dr. Lois Horowitz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LCSW
If you’ve landed here, there’s a good chance you’re going through a lot—anxiety, depressed mood, self-doubt, or maybe just the exhaustion that comes from trying to hold everything together.
Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to face it alone.
I offer a warm, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. As a therapist, I work with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, shame, and the lasting impact of early emotional wounds. I also specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals as they navigate identity, coming out, and the complexities of living authentically in a world that doesn’t always understand.
In our work together, we’ll move at your pace—exploring the patterns that are keeping you stuck, building practical tools for emotional resilience, and gently working toward healing, self-acceptance, and change.
I am a psychoanalyst with over 30 years experience as a clinician, teacher, and author. I work with both individuals and couples.

We can also have a 10 minute consultation by phone to see if I’m the right fit for you.

Joanna Vergoth
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, NCPsyA
I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 27 years of experience providing trauma-focused, psychodynamic psychotherapy to adults with complex trauma histories. I am particularly attuned to issues of relational trauma, attachment disturbances, abuse recovery, psychosexual health, anxiety disorders, and binge eating. My practice is culturally responsive and grounded in respect for each client’s lived experience and identity. Therapy with me is collaborative, paced with care, and grounded in deep attunement. I believe symptoms are adaptations to overwhelming experiences. I help clients understand how past experiences shape present patterns, transform trauma-shaped beliefs, and reconnect with their inner strength and authenticity. If you are ready for profound healing, I would be honored to work with you

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
My approach to therapy is straightforward — understand what is getting in the way, figure out why, and build a clear path forward. I work with adults, couples, and high-achieving professionals who are ready to make real changes, not just talk about them.
I am Dr. Lyndsay Elliott, a licensed clinical psychologist with a PsyD and a postdoctoral fellowship from UCLA. For over 20 years I have provided evidence-based psychotherapy, psychological evaluations, consultations and expert witness testimony to clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, chronic stress, relationship conflict, narcissistic abuse recovery, couples conflict, infertility, reproductive mental health, postpartum depression, family conflict, and major life transitions.
My style is warm and engaged, but also direct. Therapy should be useful — sessions that deliver genuine insight, practical tools, and honest feedback that actually moves the needle. I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused intervention, and trauma-informed care, tailoring every treatment plan to each client's specific goals and circumstances.
I am PSYPACT authorized, serving adults and couples via secure telehealth therapy across 40+ states — making expert psychological care accessible wherever you are.

Kiona Edwards
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCAT, ATR-BC
When we bring compassion, curiosity, and courage into how we relate to ourselves, it opens space to understand our emotions more deeply, trust our inner voice, and move toward a life that feels more aligned. I care deeply about this work because I believe real change starts in that relationship with ourselves.

Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Many of the people I work with are insightful, capable, and used to being the strong one—but inside, they feel overwhelmed, lonely, or unsure how to change the patterns they keep repeating. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or surface-level advice. It’s about creating a space where you can be fully seen and understood while we gently and honestly look at what isn’t working and why. My style is warm, direct, and deeply relational. I help people understand their emotional patterns, attachment wounds, identity questions, and relationship dynamics so they can live with more clarity, self-trust, and freedom.

Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
Our practice is grounded in a deep appreciation for the diverse experiences that shape each person’s life. Our founder grew up in Jamaica, Queens, surrounded and supported by three generations of remarkable women—an experience that continues to inform the values of care, resilience, and community that guide our work today. Across our practice, we have the privilege of supporting individuals from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, gender identities, and socioeconomic experiences, each bringing their own unique perspectives and concerns. As a practice founded by a Black, queer, first-generation college graduate, we hold a strong awareness of how power, privilege, and systemic forces shape daily life and mental health. We also recognize the vulnerability it takes to seek therapy. Our work is informed not only by clinical expertise, but by a deep respect for the courage and commitment involved in pursuing healing and meaningful change. This perspective shapes our intention to create a space that is thoughtful, affirming, and responsive to the full complexity of our clients’ lived experiences.

Dr Laura Soden
Psychologist, PhD, Clinical Psychology
As an experienced psychologist, I've witnessed psychotherapy transform people's lives--relieve shame and guilt, assuage sadness and loneliness, allow forgiveness of self and others, reveal assets and goals. But it's hard work -- intimate, uncomfortable, sometimes painful. The patient must do the work, but he/she needn't do it alone. The "right" therapist as guide, companion, witness, can ease the pain, deepen the discovery, enhance the joy. I offer a free initial consultation as an audition for both patient and therapist to assess the "fit" and decide whether to embark on this intimate work together.

Columbia University Irving Medical Center, NYU Langone Health, and Weill Cornell Medicine anchor an extensive academic mental health infrastructure, supplemented by thousands of independent practitioners across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
